President Isaac Herzog will take off tomorrow for a three-day visit to London, his office confirms after days of reporting on the trip in British media.

According to the President’s Residence, the visit is meant “to show solidarity with the Jewish community, which is under severe attack and facing a wave of antisemitism.”

Herzog’s office says he was invited by Jewish organizations to deliver speeches at communal conferences.

Herzog “will focus on advancing international efforts to secure the release of the hostages, alongside other political issues,” says his office, adding that he will meet with lawmakers, journalists, and influencers.

Notably, Herzog’s office does not say he will meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer or senior ministers.
